You guys ever stop to think that maybe there is more than one team at Dice working on these two projects? For a patch the original team would be needed to adjust code and such. For the expansion you need mappers, artists, etc. A completely seperate team could handle that pretty easily. I'm getting tired of game companies taking advantage of their consumers, but I'm getting more tired of whiney ass gamers like all of you. If you have the right system and the right internet connection the game runs well. Most of you babies expect your 4 year old equipment to run the latest and greatest and that just won't fly. Anyway, that's my 2ยข.
